Leah Dizon resumes her activities

TalentoLeah Dizon (26), who returned to the United States after her divorce in December of 2010, has announced through her official blog that she has resumed her activities in New York.

Leah recently graduated from an acting school which she was attending since January of 2011. She has also signed a contract with an agency in the United States. According to her agency, Leah will be active as an actress and talent not only in the United States, but also in Japan if she receives any offers.

Leah left a vivid impression as the "kurofune (a word used to describe a person or thing arriving from the West) of the gravure industry". She then made her singing debut and appeared on the 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' for the first time in 2007 for a medley together with AKB48 and Nakagawa Shoko. At the peak of her popularity, Leah made a surprise marriage and pregnancy announcement.

After giving birth to her daughter in April of 2009, Leah had an active career as an actress. However, her relationship with her husband was on the rocks. Their divorce was finalized in December of 2010 and Leah received full custody over their daughter. Since then, she returned to America to take acting classes.

On December 14th, Leah updated her blog for the first time in a year and four months. Titled "Hello!", the blog read, "Everyone, knock knock... Anybody home? Today!!!! It's really been awhile! This is big peach, Leah Dizon! How have you been? I resumed my activities in New York!"

Leah has also launched her official Facebook page, which already features a handful of pictures.
